Art Without Blood (scrapped)
A downloadable delusion for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You are now the Afflicted, gifted to you by the Demon of Delusion. In seven days, the Parasight will consume your body and lays eggs of unblinking eyes in every orifice of your newfound decay. With the help of one of four newfound companions, you can look for a cure, or you can take their offers of demonic enlightenment.
Art Without Blood is a surreal horror visual novel about parasites, birth, and the reincarnation of self. You are an outsider to a new world, and you can never fully adapt.
What is currently available is Day 0. Witness the flesh death of your friend in the empty halls of an art museum, and feel the infection deep in your skin.
This is not being expanded upon further because I DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE DEMONS ANYMORE RAHHH!!!!
This game also contains screen shaking and flashing lights which may potentially trigger seizures for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

The cliffhanger was actually criminal?? is this project ever being completed? Edit: Just checked, its scraped ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
i've been writing these guys for years i need a break....maybe a return in the future when im better at writing ðŸ˜
LOLL NO WORRIESS your other games are filling the void instead, i do adore your writing style though!!
Why are you so upset over someone stealing coffee?
I mean... it's not exactly the most expensive thing in the world.
(Not that I'd care even if they'd been stealing a huge diamond, but you get my point.)
...bit disappointment when the guy's jacket got less cool.
But I guess not everyone loves rock and punk stuff.
If you refuse to tell that thing to Leonore, how come they know what you haven't told them? If they knew that easily, why bother to ask?
Is there a reason you don't try to leave the place btw?
It would be -my- first thought.
I wish the MC wasn't an idiot tho.
A little self-preservation --or the choice of it-- would have been nice.
You don't go near people with anything that can be considered a weapon in their hands. That's just common sense. Regardless who they are.
Is there only a single ending? Does choices even matter?
Or is this because all you see is the demo?
it's bc it's just a demo but tbh this isn't ever getting finished so
Really love the atmosphere in this game. The music, the backgrounds, and the art combine to form something both unsettling and beautiful. 10/10 will allow the Demon of Delusion to inflict me again.
This game is absolutely amazing! The art/visuals are unique and haunting. The music really sets the mood. You can tell the Dev put A LOT of work into this! What I really like is this constant sense of confusion, you learn as you go through but there is still so much to uncover! I'm really excited to see where the Dev will takes us in this blissfully delusional tale! 5 stars for sure. Thank you for your hard work!!
